Kaepernick: Admoration, hatred, why is this a story? Merge Thread

[Blackened]

Good luck with that. Not sure id go to a place that i considered racist, where id be a minority.

I'm already in one and can't find work anywhere besides cities like this. I conceal carry, but if I'm attacked for being white... to what avail would using the shit be? So I could have my face plastered across the country and BLM to destroy all my shit? Nah, no thanks.
I hear the rhetoric all the time "white man holdin' us down... can I spare some change? I just need two dolla's to get on a bus. My kids are hungry". Never makes any sense and often contradicts the sentence they said previously, but I'm constantly hounded. I'm not holding anyone down. The younger folks I encourage to go back to school, and I offer to give food, but never money.

But don't help the homeless black folks in my cities, use the tax dollars to fund refugees! Fuck this place. Fuck this city, fuck this country. I'll make my way out as soon as I can afford to and determine exactly where it is I want to be.

You know japan has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the world right?

Yup. Don't care at this point. I'm about ready to align with any country besides this one. Maybe Russia, I'm not sure, I could get a real Russian AK-47 since Obama blocked the sale of them since the Ukraine incident.

To add to this, our second amendment isn't to protect our home from burglars but rather to defend the states against tyrants, foreign and domestic. And at the Federal level they seem hell bent on bringing foreign theocratics over. And we really aren't doing anything about it, so the second amendment is completely worthless. I'd rather be looked down upon for being white in Japan than caught up in an religious jihad here in the States... or wherever the fuck I end up.

Time to do away with the dated and pointless tradition of playing the Anthem before sporting events.

Its gone from honoring the country and those who have served it to serving as a soapbox for people who scored a 2 on the Wonderlic test.

You're posting this on Tuesday?

Why should football care what your opinion is on how it conducts the national anthem when you don't even watch it? Personally, I'll take a bunch of libtards and angry black second-stringers kneeling during a song over the riots we had this summer. Let this be there purposeless outlet.

If you're a Trump supporter you should be cheering this on. This and more terror attacks are literally his only hope. Hillary was up nearly 8 pts before Colin Kaepernick, on August 14th, took us from the post-convention political temperature of the country straight back to the 2nd week of July. A month later and her GE lead has shrunk to nearly insignificant statistical levels.

Hawaiian locals have somewhat of a reputation and I moved here anyway. Here's the secret. Fuck 'em if I bother them. I don't really care if they don't like me and you can't legislate affinity. Most people are nice and polite and that's important.

In fact, check out the RCP General Election Polling average from August 26th, when Colin was first publicly noticed doing his protest, and today:

Food for thought.

I would be awfully concerned about how low the standard of living is in russia. And you commented about importing theocrats, they dont need to import them to russia. 10% of the country is muslim.

It's really not a big deal man. It's only as big a deal as you make it. It really shouldn't be considered disrespectful to an anthem by holding your fist up anyway, not in the same way that remaining seated would.

Plus athletes have made statements like this before. I understand some guys did it back in the day in some kind of amateur tournament that they hold every 4 years, but in the world of pro sports I remember this from when I was growing up:

a lot of us were profoundly moved

What's the point of standing for na anywAys?

If you pay your taxes, you do nuff already. This obsession with pledging some sort of "allegiance" by standing n saluting the flag is borderline fascism.

Must be your sophomore year in Sociology class for you to know that word.

When people in the public eye do these idiotic protests, they can cause others to protest in other, more violent ways and also I find it insulting when people champion misinformed causes.

I'm not a Trump supporter but I hate Hillary so cheers I guess.

I'm going by statistics, numbers makes one a bigot?

Like you give a fuck about facts. Say what you mean and quit being such a coward.

This sort of "idiotic protest" is the exact sort of thing people opposed to the marches wanted.
It is peaceful and non-obstructive. If you listen to the things Kaepernick has said it is actually quite respectful too.

Wtf are you talking about I read articles on google, NY times, drudge, and repeat their findings and that's a bigot.
Thats your best response.
Keep it up because the good people are seeing right through it.
Claims of bigotry or racism with zero evidence
Claiming racism is the last line of defense. no facts, no real argument.
Claim racism, it's getting so old.

It's 2016,

Dolphins S Michael Thomas and the three other players (Arian Foster, Jelani Jenkins and Kenny Stills) who kneeled during NFL games this season met with local law enforcement on Tuesday and had productive talks, according to Thomas.

You've been posting about how a group you lacked the balls to name outright.

As for facts, I'm sure you know the numbers that are convenient for your own views but, since we've discussed in the past I know for a fact you don't really give a shit about discussing why.
